Fig. 2: Power generating capacities for the a) Base, b) the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) Grid, c) Photovoltaics (PV) Only, and d) Wind Only cases.

From: Simulated co-optimization of renewable energy and desalination systems in Neom, Saudi Arabia

Fig. 2

Cases PV Only and Wind Only, without dispatchable generators, require significantly larger generating capacities and battery storage. Plotted are curves for concentrated solar power (CSP), photovoltaics (PV), wind, combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT), battery, thermal energy storage (TES), hydroelectric pumped storage (HPS), and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) Grid.
